TrackMania is going to rock your DS

Fans of racing games should already know the TrackMania series. It’s a time trial racing game that is very fast-paced and has jumps, different terrains, and puzzle elements, as well as a track editor mode. If you are all about racing the same track 20 times in a row in order to shave a tenth of a second off of your time then you’ll love it. Kidding aside, it’s a fun game and if you use Steam it’s worth checking out.

If you follow TrackMania or Atlus then you probably already know that the game is destined to hit the Nintendo DS here in the USA. Atlus posted two videos on their YouTube channel and they are only serving to make me more excited about the game.

The big challenge for Atlus was probably maintaining high speeds as the game moves along. The game is very fast and while it translates well onto the PC, preventing the DS from choking on it (while having the game look good) could be tough. These videos are encouraging though and the use of the stylus in track design appears to be right on target.

{ad}TrackMania DS is already out in Europe and it should be available in the US on March 17th.
